حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ يَبِيعُ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَلاَ يَخْطُبُ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى خِطْبَةِ بَعْضٍ " . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَسَمُرَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّهُ قَالَ " لاَ يَسُومُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى سَوْمِ أَخِيهِ " . وَمَعْنَى الْبَيْعِ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عِنْدَ بَعْضِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ هُوَ السَّوْمُ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1292
This Hadith teaches market ethics and respect for others. Ibn Umar reports that the Prophet said none of you should sell over the sale of others, nor propose over the proposal of others. The text then mentions a related wording: do not haggle in competition with your brother's haggling. Abu Eisa notes that some people of knowledge understood sale here to mean haggling. The message is easy to understand. A believer should not step into another person's active deal or proposal in a way that causes unfair competition, pressure, or harm. Trade and marriage talks both need honesty and respect.
What we learn from this hadith
- Do not interfere with another person's active sale.
- Do not propose over another person's proposal.
- Fair dealing includes respect for another person's ongoing agreement or negotiation.
